Staycation at W Singapore

How to spend time when you can't travel anywhere? We took a weekend staycation at the W hotel in Sentosa. What a cool place! Feels like coming to Australia of some wester country bbut not Singapore while being at Sentosa Cove. Hotel was super nice and had an amazing breakfast. Def come here again someday!

Like walking around Darling Harbour in Sydney!  

Some cool boats from all around the world parked here. I wonder how many have come from neighboring Asian countries to just dock on their boat and wait out corona? 

Bath views!  

 Empty bar, all bars closed for 2 months in Singapore due to Corona

Hand ? 

Hotel had a lot of details build here and there. Hattifnattarna seem to have infuenced some of the lighting.

Roof lights had a bit of extra trinkets added to them 

Cotton walls 

Hallway lights pretty cool 

The hot pool and sauna had a pretty trippy design 

Out for an evening run, pool opeen 24h which is kinda rare at hotels

Crisp blue skies and sunshine! 

View from the balcony and bathroom pretty  nice

Downing a couple of Gin Tonics at the lounge for free 17-19. Long times since having had any drinks! Def come back to this hotel someday, food amazing! But pictures I totally forgot to take on that

Corona and a wedding

It was difficult to foresee how fast this corona epidemic would develop around the world! Suddenly everything just stopped, almost all shops closed. Last week it travel was still possible but now Singapore is locked down. Only citizens of Singapore are allowed to come back with a 14 days quarantine. Things are still open here but I wonder how long. One great this is almost NO people anywhere, not to mention  all tourists long gone.

Hello downtown skyline  

 We been taking  a lot of walks around Punggol when I'm home now. So nice jungle 

Sup girls? 

Found a lost turtle which I carried back to the water. Never seen a turtle move so fast when it saw the water! Swoooosh!! 

 A bit bigger sandbox for Kaj than what I had as a kid 

 I'm honored to be voted as a Board Member and Treasurer to the Finnish Business Council of Singapore (chamber of commerce) ! Team seems great and can't wait to arrange events after the corona outbreak is over 

HUONE in Singapore has some amazing corporate event spaces 

 Burnt Ends has some fine lunch and this bottle caught my  attention too 

 Walking around downtown 

 Asian "wet markets" have gotten a very bad reputation since the corona outbreak. But honestly they are just like markets anywhere. Fruit, veggies, meat...Nothing skechy at least in Singapore

 Beach still open! Hello again FOC Singapore 

What an evening 

 Super Dario has the best lasagne in Singapore!! A must try at Farrer PArk 

 Congrats & Cheers Celine, was a great wedding at Raffles hotel 

A sucker for colonialism architecture 

 Raffles Place 

 Concrete mushroom 

 Got pork? 

 Got vegetables? No! There have been a few days of panic buying by people because many have been thinking that everything would be closed down. The results been no veggies and some other products. Well, if everyone would keep buying as they normally do there would be no issue. Toilet paper has been a comodity people been hogging too. Seen some funny emojis about this 

 Love shopping at Don Don Donki, just  like being in Tokyo 

 Found something I've never eaten before. A yellow dragon fruit. Slightly sweeter than the normal version and more slimy.
